Public talks over the years
In this section I will try to list various Dev/IT talks I have done at conferences, meetup groups and a few noteworthy company internal over the years. As I am starting this list in Oct. 2022, it will probably take some time to reconstruct all of it, but here goes the initial brainstorm:
- July 2013: Project Coin features in Java 7 - Probably only internal at my workplace
- July 2013: Introduction to the Option Monad in Scala - Copenhagen Scala Meetup Group
- Sept. 2013: Intro to Pattern Matching in Scala - Copenhagen Scala Meetup Group
- Oct. 2013: Git internals - Hogwarts School of ma'Git - Originally an internal company talk but reused elsewhere
- ????: Introducion to Brainf*ck - Copenhagen Tech Polyglots Meetup
- Dec? 2015: Docker workshop - DayOfDocker, Oslo, Norway
- Feb. 2017: Jedi Mind Tricks in Git - Git Merge conference in Brussels
- Docker 101 - DayOfContainers conference Copenhagen
- Dec? 2019: Jedi Mind Tricks in Git - TechBBQ startup conference, Copenhagen
- Nov. 2020 - Webinar about Git (concepts, features and more) for IDA (Danish Engineers Union) - > 350 participants.
- Dec. 2021: 10 Levels of Git Aliases - Copenhagen DevOps Meetup group (and repeated internally in Eficode at least twice)
On top of the above, I have been teaching cat genetics and related topics in various Danish cat clubs since the late 90's.
I always welcome any speaking gig opportunities, whether at conferences or meetups, especially on Git related topics. I am happy to redo earlier presentations, I have a few ready-baked ideas (talk-proposals) but also like being pushed to talk about new corners of the topics I know about.
Git training
A noticable part of my job since 2015 has been providing professional Git training (and the odd trainings on Jenkins & CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes and Azure DevOps) to customers.
In the future, I might add a "road show" list here, on a sub-page, but for now just a few stats as of November 2022:
- Over 130 days worth of Git training
- These include at least 50 runs just of "my" 2 day Mastering Git training.
- Delivered on site in at least 6 Countries on 2 continents (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany & India)
- Delivered in 3 languages. (Typically English, occasionally Danish & and in a few rare cases in German 😱)
If your company is looking for Git training, or you just want to hear why I believe it is worthwhile spending 2 full days (or even more) of your precious time learning and thoroughly understanding Git, then by all means reach out.
